Athlete Story of the Week: Pierre Close
Today, we are highlighting Pierre Close, a Squad member from Liège, Belgium! Pierre is a rehab and physical medicine physician who is staging a comeback to Kona 15 years after he finished his first Kona with a bitter taste for triathlon in 2004. After starting out with Purple Patch alongside his wife to maximize their training, he recently placed 6th overall at Indeland 70.3 Germany and is now preparing for a Kona leadup utilizing the Purple Patch Methodologies. “I really enjoy the process of training, the feeling when layers are accumulating and making us ready to perform at our best...my goal this year is to have my best race in Kona without ever forgetting the adversity I face! Since 2011, I’ve had a progressive comeback. Using Purple Patch strategy has helped me a lot so that I now feel stronger now at 44 than at 30!” said Pierre. Way to go, Pierre! We are all behind you.
